Lush Karma is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995. Karma opens with Orange, Lemongrass, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Lemon, Pine, and Blackcurrant, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Cinnamon, Elemi, and Canadian Fir Balsam. Lush's Karma carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Lush Karma is a divisive beast, a love-it-or-hate-it scent that's either a fizzy orange dream or a messy hippie shop. It's potent and unapologetic, demanding attention whether you're ready for it or not. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but unforgettable if it clicks with you.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Karma's strong sillage and impressive longevity make it too potent for an office setting, but perfect for casual outings or dates where you want to make a statement. The unique, earthy-citrus blend is too unconventional for most formal events, but can shine in cooler weather or creative environments.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Lemongrass Cymbopogon Flexuosus Oil from Lemongrass

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a burst of sparkling orange and sharp lemongrass, almost like an effervescent soda, cut with the resinous, earthy depth of pine and patchouli. A hint of warm cinnamon and balsamic elemi adds a cosy, incense-like undertone as it dries down, creating a scent that's both invigoratingly fresh and deeply grounding. It’s a sensory journey from bright citrus groves to a tranquil forest floor, with a touch of mystical spice.
